Aug. 29 — Judge Bryan Winslow

• In a plea bargain, Patrick T. Russo, 61, of Horicon Ave. in Warrensburg, pled Guilty to Petit Larceny in settlement of several Felony charges. He was granted a one-year Conditional Discharge.

• Cory M. Cleavland, 31, of Trout Lake Road, Diamond Point, was arraigned on a Felony charge of second-degree Assault, based on an Aug. 13 incident at about 10 p.m. on River St. Police said he stomped on the left leg of a woman and broke a bone in doing so. He is also charged with the Misdemeanor of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, because police said Cleavland had earlier pushed the woman to the ground while she held a child in her arms, and Cleavland attempted to pull the child from the mother’s arms many times during the assault. Cleavland is also charged with the Misdemeanor of Criminal Mischief for snapping the woman’s cell phone in half during the confrontation. According to the woman’s statement, the two were discussing how he had punched her in the face five years earlier, and hadn’t since taken responsibility for his actions. The statement continued that she began to record his admission on her cell phone, he swore at her, then flipped over a table, threw a chair at her, grabbed the cell phone and snapped it in half, throwing it outside the home.
